when you don't feel like it, not much you can do to force it. i don't feel like writing right now, so this will be a super short post by my standards.
a series of unfortunate events has befallen me this week. though some i'd rather not mention (major stomach ache), some are worth mentioning.
my house was broken into last night at about 4 am. about the same time i was happily chatting with a friend in manglish. which I must say here is very fun indeed. no, not the house being broken into part obviously.
i was not there. i was in UTP. my mother and brother were asleep. my father was not. so they came in, held my mother at knifepoint (if there's an actual word like this), tied her up, did the same with my brother, then threatened my father with my mother and brother. obviously my father couldn't do much, even if no one was threatened, because there were 3 fellas altogether, and my father isn't his young self anymore.
they tied everyone up, ransacked my parents' bedroom, then left. took everyone's cash, phones, camera, watches, jewellery, etc2.
apart from the bruises my mother had from being tied up too tight, no one was hurt. thank God. so much worse could have happened.
i found out at noon and rushed straight home.
In conclusion, I would like to summarize the things that I have learnt / realized this week (not in order).
1. Never wait too long to get something you like.
2. Never leave your stomach too hungry, it may surprise you.
3. Never piss off your supervisor, she may give you extra work for it.
4. Life does not always go the way you planned it.
5. It does not hurt to be careful.
6. You are too mat salleh celup if you think talking in manglish or worse in Malay with a friend is fun and entertaining.
7. Your mother remembers more than you think she does.
8. You used to be a very good boy.
9. You can achieve almost anything if you set your mind to it.
10. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Especially ones that call you in the middle of the night to supposedly console you.
11. Friends do care about you, even though it may not look like it at times.
12. Always remember to be humble no matter how proud you are.
13. Relationships are easy to build, but if broken are hard to mend.
14. 1 + 1 = 1. That is love.
15. People don't always react the way you expect them to.
16. People miss you more than you miss them sometimes, so be nice.
That is all from me for now. Will post a proper one as soon as possible.
Peace.

final-years
I'm tired. of all this.
I want to graduate. Like ASAFP.
I know I'll be going like "oh how I miss my uni days" in a few months but I just can't help it. Once you reach the stage where I am, i.e: final year final sem, a sort of lethargy kind of sets in all of a sudden. And can you blame me? If I perform exceptionally well, i.e 4.0 or exceptionally bad, i.e 1.0, at most my cgpa will change by plus minus 0.02.
I have only 5 classes per week. 4 off days. Sometimes 5, because there's only one class on Tuesday and it's really early in the morning (9 am. lol), so I sometimes accidentally, (and sometimes intentionally) "miss" the class. I don't go to tutorials. I mean, I've only gone to a handful of tutorials over the past years and I think I did okay, so why bother really.
Sounds like the best sem ever, but I've still got my FYP and FYDP (final year design project : required for Chem Eng students). Takes up most of my free time. And my holidays even. Which really sucks. I feel like sleeping most of my free time, but by not doing work I'm supposed to do, I'll feel guilty. And the fact other people seem to be as hardworking as ants (not sure if its the right analogy) doesn't really help my conscience.
However, being a senior does have its perks. For one, the juniors supposedly look up and respect you. Theoretically speaking, of course. I've had my housemates, juniors, greeting me and stuff. Though most just don't bother. Which doesn't really bother me, as long as they don't show any disrespect. See, when you're a senior, you (or more specifically, me) develop a sense of pride, of arrogance at how old you are and how you're almost at the finish line.
Not exactly following the way of the paddy (semakin berisi semakin tunduk), but I take it as a good thing. Because for someone with a confidence problem talking to people sometimes, I find myself extremely confident. I find myself no longer hesitating when trying to ask someone for help, no longer thinking twice about voicing my opinions, more vocal on my thoughts and feelings on something, rather than keeping it all to myself. And more friendly and talkative, apparently. haha.
And it shows in other people as well. Guys that weren't confident before (I suppose) to talk to the girl that he was staring at from afar are now going out with that same girl. haha. But I think you shouldn't be that desperate. Nothing wrong with waiting. But nothing wrong with going for it anyways, nothing to lose. I don't really have a point here.
Back to my point on lethargy, it does not affect the things that are non-academic. On the contrary, in your final semester, you suddenly think of all the things you haven't done before and want to do before you graduate, i.e go to the 'new' lakeside for a jog, take swimming lessons, go for roadtrips with friends. As a wise friend once quoted a wise man , "Anyone can do any amount of work, provided it isn't the work he is supposed to be doing at the moment". :)
Also, you feel more connected with your friends, probably because it's almost time to part. You tend to join any activity, any ridiculous activity, just because your friends are going. Its not what you do, its who you do it with. Which reminds me, I'm supposed to have a reunion this month, but so far, nothing. The other guys were supposed to plan it this time around because when I planned it only two out of ten showed up, the others giving all sorts of excuses, some not even bothered to give one. Sigh, sometimes I feel like I'm too sentimental, as if I'm the only one that wants to meet, catch up, etc. Oh well.
Again, referring back to my point of trying new things out, I decided to actually do some exercise this semester. LOL. Honestly, before this I thought, people that go out for jogs are just fat people that are trying to get skinny. I'm skinny as hell, why should I go jogging. If anything I should sleep more to get more buff. haha. But only after the short "jog" around the new UTP lake did I realise how unfit I was. Sure, I was skinny, but that has absolutely nothing to do with my fitness, or my health for that matter. I may not be experiencing obesity problems anytime soon, but I may have problems with my heart for lack of exercise during my youth (macam dah tua sangat. haha).
I felt really pathetic after not being able to jog even the shortest of distance, so I decided to exercise at least once a week from now. This week I went for a swim at the pool. I still was really exhausted after about an hour or so, but was definitely a major improvement from the previous week. The body wants to be fit, only the mind stands in the way. haha.
Also within the realm of trying new stuff out, I decided to read a novel which is most definitely in my regular genre of books, which is fantasy. Okay, a bit within my genre, but only the slightest bit.
Twilight. LOL.
(can't believe I just told the whole world wide web I read this book. -_-")
Can't remember the last time I read something so... full of love. LOL. The stories I usually go for are the Dungeons-and-Dragons, Lord-Of-The-Rings, World-of-Warcraft type of stories. Sometimes these stories do have some hints of romance in them, but not to the level of Twilight. Even if all the books I have ever read were combined into one giant book, it couldn't beat Twilight in terms of romance.
Definitely not my cup of tea, but I try to keep an open mind, and see what is it about the book that girls like so much, that they decided to make a movie (no, make that two movies, another from the sequel) out of it. I haven't actually finished the book, still have a few chapters to go, (I'm now at the part where Bella left her father to run away form the bad vamps) but so far here's what I think.
One, I get why this Edward likes this girl so much. I do. She's interesting to her. Intriguing. He's used to figuring people out, reading people's minds, suddenly he bumps into a girl that's totally different, that he can never figure out. Very interesting indeed. But, what I don't get is why she, (apart from the fact that this guy is very good looking), likes him so much. Macam shallow giler. Sure, later she finds he is quite the charmer, but she didn't know in the beginning.
Okay I feel less masculine after reading the book, even more so after announcing it here, so need to something manly to boost my self-esteem back up. Maybe go for a jog in the morning, buff myself up, yeah sounds manly.... Or MAYBE a short nap before class starts in the afternoon. yeah nap sounds much2 better. and more macho.

Quoting a romance novel, definitely not helping. Argh. Nites.
Take care.

things i'll never say
here's something interesting i heard recently.
a friend of mine, lets call him A, for some reason the other day confided in me a problem he has. guess it troubled him a bit keeping it all bottled up. me, being the super-reliable friend that i am, decided to listen though most of the time i don't really like meddling in other people's business.
see, this A was in a relationship of sorts a long time ago, 5 years back i think. since then as far as i can tell he hasn't been in another one. maybe he thought he didn't like getting tied or not really into the whole relationship thing, i dunno. anyways, he told me that his ex contacted him the other day. let's go alphabetical and call the ex-gf B. haha
apparently they still keep in touch even after the breakup coz they're friends with the same people, and probably coz A felt kinda bad for the way he ended the thing. so they chatted a bit, did some catching up, just casual stuff that friends would normally do.
then, B suddenly says that she misses him, which caught A totally off guard. he says to her "don't you have a boyfriend?". B goes on to say that she never got over him, even after all these years, and that the guy that she was supposedly dating, she wasn't really into, so she broke up with that guy recently.
(i was kinda smirking at this point coz i thought my friend was making up stories to make him look like this hot stud, but from his face it didn't look that way, so i bit my tongue and put on my "serious listener" face)
obviously my friend wasn't too happy bout this. he says that he's been keeping his distance from her to avoid this sort of thing, and actually made up stories of a fictional gf just so the ex would not bug him anymore. (i guessing that this wasn't the first time she did this, but i didn't really ask)
so he kinda said something like "i'm sure there are so many guys out there who would want to be your bf, so pls move on and forget me". and the girl says that there are guys that are interested, but she only has eyes for him. at this point in the story i couldn't like, contain myself so i asked "what did you say then?". he said that there's not much he CAN say at the moment and kinda repeated what he said before. haha. us guys aren't very articulate, are we.
oh, i forgot to mention that we were in a lecture hall at the time, so gossiping about ex-girlfriends isn't exactly what you're supposed to do in a lecture hall, no matter how boring the lecture / lecturer was, so when A appeared to stop talking i tried to focus on the man talking to himself at the front of the hall.
"......... and that would've been the end of the story if it weren't for Facebook!", A continued.
"hehe, apa jadi plak lepas tu?", says I. the balding man at the front will have to continue talking to himself. haha.
A goes on to say that not a week after their conversation, B changes her status to "In a relationship with ***", the star being some other guy.
wow. no wonder he seemed upset. that was quick.
he says that he's not upset or anything, he's just mad that she's doing this sort of thing, AGAIN. (much emphasis on the again part). he says that she has been doing this, i.e saying something and then doing something completely opposite to what she just said, always, even when they were together. he couldn't care less who she ends up with at this point, but why say to him she still loves him, then suddenly be with someone else 5 minutes later? (obviously an exaggeration to make his point. do i really need to explain this? haha) is it just to screw with his brain? or did she mean what she said? if she did, then is she just playing around with this new guy?
i have to admit, i understand A's frustration. no this is not just the "supportive friend" talking, this is me as a human talking. sometimes girls, or more generally people do things that really, REALLY get on your nerves, but what really annoys you isn't the act itself, but rather WHY it is done. you can't seem to understand WHY someone would do such a thing.
but, for the life of me, i couldn't say anything at the time. i don't know WHAT to say to him. i mean, i wanted to say something, maybe advice, or maybe a cheer-up, but i couldn't come up with anything. sigh, us guys really are bad with words.
and so, we sat there, silent, finally paying attention to the guy talking at the front of the hall, who appears to be laughing at his own jokes at the time. though i couldn't really offer any words of advice or anything at all that might have helped, i think just listening helps sometimes. i think. i mean, my friend seemed to be actually laughing to the jokes the lecturer was making, so he must be okay. hahah.
maybe the girl was telling the truth. maybe she was still in love with A, but she finally realizes that she should move on so she hooks up with the guy that she thinks will help her do that. or maybe the girl was just plain evil and wanted to mess with A's head. or maybe there's an entirely different reason that A has conveniently left out of the story. or maybe something totally unrelated. who knows, really.
Although I'm pretty sure A & B won't be reading this, you can never really tell. If anyone related to this story reads this, your identity has been kept a secret, so no one will know it was you. If by any chance A is reading this, my advice to you is this : whether she forgets you or not, its you that should forget her. stop letting her mess with your head. and try to pay more attention in class. haha.
If by any chance B is reading this, I can't really tell why you did what you did, but I sincerely wish you all the best in your new relationship. coz if you are in love with A, then your relationship is going to need all the help it can get. but if you are in love with the new guy, then may he be able to withstand your "charms".
oh, i wanna know what you guys think as well, so please do comment. be it here, or facebook (this is for ayol in case she can't seem to get the comment thing to work again. haha).
till next time, peace.

love song for no one
As I jumped around from blog to blog, I realize that most of the blogs are talking about love, or lack thereof. See, as a guy that pays too much attention to his computer than to girls, I don't really have much to say about this. However, I believe that whoever you are, be it a plain Jane or a smokin' supermodel, there is someone out there for you and you should settle for no less than that someone, although it may take you a few someones to figure out what you really want, or more importantly, what you really need.
I recently watched a not-so-lovey-dovey movie called "500 Days of Summer". Quite late, I know. At first I was under the impression it was a lovey-dovey movie, so I wasn't all that into these types of movies, but since I've heard quite a few people talk about it, I decided I'll give it a shot.
And I really liked it! This is reality! Not the same fairy tale we've been fed for so long.
If you haven't seen it, go see it because I'll be talking about it for a bit.
People were pitying the guy, and who could blame them, but I say, it was the guy's fault. The girl said from the beginning that she wanted to be only friends, and the only thing she did wrong was that she did what she said she wanted. I pity the guy too, but honestly the girl didn't exactly do anything wrong.
And the guy was pissed off at the girl for not wanting to go to the next level with him, but suddenly married some guy she knew for only a short while. However, I really liked her explanation. It was short and simple. "I just woke up one day and I knew, what I never was sure of with you".
The thing I liked most about the movie, apart from how real it felt (not some fluffed up love story), is the subtle yet strong messages throughout the movie. One would be when the little sister said that she thinks that the girl wasn't the 'one' for his brother and he should recall not only the good parts, but also the bad parts of the relationship. I think people sometimes focus too much on the good things or in some cases the bad things, and we forget the other things. But that's life I suppose. Focus more on the guy's money, you'll forget how ugly he looks. Stuff like that.
Another one would be the part when he met the new girl, Autumn. See, there was this beautiful girl, that had the same interests as he did, that liked the same spot in the city as he liked, and noticed him there, but he didn't notice her. And her answer to that was "You must not have been looking". He was so blinded by this one girl who didn't really appreciate what he liked, he didn't see this other girl who could have been so right for him.
Ok enough lovey dovey talk. haha. In conclusion it is a very nice movie and if you haven't seen it yet, then you should.
I shall stop here. Didn't really have anything to write. Just got bored. Happy Chinese New Year everyone.
p/s: Love song for no one is a song by John Mayer. not a bad song for single people. haha.

The thing I liked most about the movie, apart from how real it felt (not some fluffed up love story), is the subtle yet strong messages throughout the movie. One would be when the little sister said that she thinks that the girl wasn't the 'one' for his brother and he should recall not only the good parts, but also the bad parts of the relationship. I think people sometimes focus too much on the good things or in some cases the bad things, and we forget the other things. But that's life I suppose. Focus more on the guy's money, you'll forget how ugly he looks. Stuff like that.
Another one would be the part when he met the new girl, Autumn. See, there was this beautiful girl, that had the same interests as he did, that liked the same spot in the city as he liked, and noticed him there, but he didn't notice her. And her answer to that was "You must not have been looking". He was so blinded by this one girl who didn't really appreciate what he liked, he didn't see this other girl who could have been so right for him.
Ok enough lovey dovey talk. haha. In conclusion it is a very nice movie and if you haven't seen it yet, then you should.
I shall stop here. Didn't really have anything to write. Just got bored. Happy Chinese New Year everyone.
p/s: Love song for no one is a song by John Mayer. not a bad song for single people. haha.
